Hazy, juicy, East Coast IPA's have dominated the craft scene. A blend of tropical hops deliver a balance of citrus tropical aromas and soft fruity flavours. This young but easy to drink style is loved by beer fans and rises to any occasion.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, orange pith, mango and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple and mango in a dry, mild bitter, metallic finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not great, but exceeded my expectations.

0.355 l can from the brewery's web shop. Hazy, golden yellow with a large, frothy, stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity, a little dank aroma of passion fruit, mango and pineapple. Gently sweet, very fruity, a bit dank taste of passion fruit, mango and pineapple, followed by a short, hardly bitter finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very decent NEIPA, lovely fruity, waaaayyy better than expected, considering my recent encounters with this brewery. Still not what I would expect from an 'East Coast IPA', at least in the sense of the classic term.

Optisch unauffällig, klares Gold, dünner Schaum. In der Nase Frucht, recht wenig Aroma. Im Trunk Zitrus, Licht bitter, absolutes Durchschnitts-IPA, nichts besonderes. Eher dünn, aber trinkbar.

355ml can. Hazy, dark cellow-ish, bright golden colour with average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, mango, passion fruit, wheaty and oaty malty background. Taste is bitter, minimally metallic, tropical fruity hoppy, diluted hints of passion fruit, mango, dry, oaty malty basis; mineral finish lacks fruitiness in total. Watery texture, dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Slightly ephemeral hop flavours, enormous discrepancy between aroma and taste concerning intensity of fruitiness - not fully convincing.
